In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, Goro Majima brings his dynamic "Sea Dog" pirate fighting style to the table, complete with four powerful finishers for tackling large crowds. However, the journey to collect all the dark instruments is a challenging one.
How to Obtain the Dark God's Violin in Pirate Yakuza
The Dark God's Violin is the first dark instrument you'll unlock in *Pirate Yakuza* and is essential for progressing through the main storyline. You'll encounter it during Chapter 2, where your crew member Jason directs you to a waypoint to meet an old friend. Unfortunately, upon arrival, you'll find that the Devil Flag pirates have already killed Jason's friend and stolen the priceless Pharoh Stone.
Following this, you'll meet Misaki, the orphaned daughter of Jason's deceased friend, who joins the Goro Pirates to seek revenge. This sets the stage for a side story that leads you to the islands east of Madlantis. Here, you'll face a formidable enemy fleet of Devil Flag pirates. Focus your attacks on the boss ship to advance to the next stage of the fight on their ship. After defeating the Devil Flags, you'll receive the Dark God's Violin and can immediately test its power in a 100-enemy brawl on the island.
After the brawl, a cutscene introduces you to the captains of the Devil Flag fleet: Yakuza, Ronin, Shinobi, and Zeus. They challenge the Goro Pirates, marking the official start of the side quest to collect all the dark instruments.
How to Obtain the Dark God's Ocarina in Pirate Yakuza
After securing the Dark God's Violin and engaging in the initial brawl, you'll notice Devil Flag markers on various waters. Defeating these ships earns you Devil Flags, and you need 70 of them to unlock Atali Island. Prepare a strong landing party, as you'll face multiple waves of attackers before reaching the treasure chest with the Dark God's Ocarina. You must defeat Devil Flag Captain Yakuza to claim it.
How to Obtain the Dark God's Guitar in Pirate Yakuza
After defeating Captain Yakuza, follow the cutscenes to a supposed location of the Pharoh Stone, only to find it's a trap leading to another 100-enemy fight. Here, you can test the Dark God's Ocarina. The next clue leads to Zeus heading to Flame Island, requiring 130 Devil Flags and a three-star ranking to advance.
Sail to the Flame Entrance Lighthouse, triggering a cutscene, and conquer four treasure islands: Sunset, Heatwave, Welldone, and Scorching Heat. Remember, treasure islands don't allow health item use, so upgrade Goro and his landing crew. After navigating these islands, focus on the boss ship in the subsequent fleet battle. Upon defeating the first mate and landing on Flame Island with Jason, Masaru, Minami, and Saejima, you'll face smaller battles before confronting Captain Ronin. Use your dark instruments to defeat him and secure the Dark God of the Earth's Guitar.
How to Obtain the Dark God's Saxophone in Pirate Yakuza
The final dark instrument, the Dark God's Saxophone, requires a Pirate Rank Four and 220 Devil Flags. Engage in main story missions, recruit new crew members, and participate in mini-games and side quests to achieve the necessary rank. Head to the Frost Entrance Lighthouse, fight the Devil Flag's Fleet, and conquer four additional islands: Snowview, Coldwave, Icicle Island, and Glacial, to gather more Devil Flags.
Defeat Captain Shinobi's First Fleet before landing on Frost Island, where you'll navigate a series of battles leading to a cave and a recovery area. The final boss fight against Captain Shinobi awaits you, and after defeating him, a cutscene unfolds where Zeus takes Misaki hostage. Upon defeating Shinobi, Goro obtains the Dark God's Saxophone, completing your collection of dark instruments.
One last boss encounter remains against Zeus to rescue Misaki, a challenging two-stage battle that concludes the Devil Flag storyline. However, this final fight is not required to obtain all four dark instruments.
And that's how you obtain all Dark Instruments in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
*Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.*
